I remember some member of the SA cabinet blaming many of the countries ills on females wearing miniskirts, this was in the early seventies, an enlightened era.

That is an interesting point quids, they haven't lost their voice for so many other lesser issues, yet they are speechless on other topics.

I wonder, is it political correctness keeping them quiet?

Anyway there may be something to that article. I once drove into a shopping trolley when distracted by a lady in a short skirt.


What a coincidence. I was once almost run over by some idiot in car when I was putting my shopping trolley away, one sunny day.......

They don't agree with it, many just do some uncomfortable shuffling and skirting around the issues in public

How can anyone dignify this with a sensible debate? The story is about a total and utter loon! No one in their right mind agrees with any of it!


Other than the bit about causing youths to go astray. We do that all the time.


*hee hee*


[action thingies inserted just for Ladymuck]

That's cos I'm Western and liberal. We're all products of our upbringing. And mine leads me to scream "LOON!" when I read things like that.


Please don't think I'm ignorant quids, I've studied Islam, Christianity and Judaism for several years and have a working understanding of the Hindu and Sikh religions. But I still think he's a loon, and a very disingenous one at that. Established religions have a proven history of playing on human fears to control a population for political ends. A better example I haven't seen in quite a while. Sex = Earthquake? Well maybe, if you're lucky, but not in the way he thinks.


So I make no apologies for it - he's a loon!

Not so very lunatic LB - right up until the flat-earth earthquake bit, I reckon you've got a fairly standard rape defence from any British law court. Ridiculous maybe, but lunatic, not so much.


As to Quids's point about lefties and awkward silences, I'll come right out and say it (and await the death threats). Purdah is inherently sexist.


And yes, Red Devil, I did hear that there was a minor earthquake at the weekend, epicentre Lordship Lane, when you caused a lady-stampede while popping out for a few cans from Boss Man.

I hear what you say RosieH but I'm sticking with lunatic. In my view only a lunatic would consider it acceptable to use that as a defence to rape. I'm not saying it isn't used, or that it doesn't work. But you're a raving loon if you think it's an acceptable defence of anything. Though we are now rather off topic.


Sorry Mick Mac, is this better:

Not that I'm competitive or anything.

    • A festival-style trolley that will fit in a hatch back. For moving son into halls at uni with a very far away car park!  Thanks    Lottie   
    • Hi, my daughter has a basic electric keyboard she really should clear out of her old room. It's a classic beginners one. Are you interested?  If so, I'll photograph it and find the name.    Lottie 
    • I don’t think Reform will withstand the heat of any election.  Finding enough people to stand will be bad enough. Finding credible ones quite a bid tougher  I think yes this government is lacking in a long term plan and has not had a good first year. Today the least.   but the speed with which this was dealt with is a notable shift compared to last 14 years where months would drag by and we would constantly be told to draw a line under  if Labour called an election tomorrow, there is not a single party that could present a better alternative with any credibility. And that’s a low bar Reform are dangerous lunatics but more worrying is the descent of the Tories into the same swamp i also worry that England voters have contracted some melodrama virus after the Tories where we had 5 PMs in almost as many years  it’s ok for governments to be unpopular without needing to have an election every 1-2 years       Looks like Lucy Connolly will me one of those Reform candidates at next election tells you everything you need to know about that party and where the country would be headed 
    • Well, I made £50 out of it and Alice owes me another bullseye, so I had a good day Clearly the thread has moved on, but just a final few words on Rayner (from me, at least). If she hadn't gone like this (with a chance to revive her career at some point in the future) there's plenty of other stuff loaded up and ready to be fired at her about the motivation, finances and machinations of her move down South. It's not pretty reading. Tawdry doesn't come close. I was born in Ashton Hospital and grew up in Tameside, I've got a lot of friends and family who weren't as lucky as me and didn't make it out, some close to her constituency party, and there's been a lot of bad feeling around 'Our Ange' for a long time. My favourite quote was: 'She should fuck off back to Stockport.' And that was from a party member. The writing was on the wall for her. Moving from Ashton (majority c6.5k, large Pakistani minority, but predominantly white working class and targeted by both the Independent Alliance and Reform) to Hove (majority c20k, neither of these issues with the electorate) was a pretty cynical move, and she's fucked it royally. 'The Honourable Member for Hove and Portslade' will be sleeping a lot easier in their bed tonight. This thread was never supposed to about Labour bashing, and I'm not sure it is. It's definitely descended into 'Whataboutery', and that seems to be the problem, in my mind at least, with British politics. It's playground stuff, he said/she said, blame-game bollocks. Watch PMQs and ask yourself if you'd accept this sort of behaviour amongst toddlers, let alone in an elected parliament. One thing that does stand out is the opposition to Reform across the board, and yet we seem to be sleepwalking towards a likely scenario where Farage could head up a minority Reform government. I've 'followed' politics since the late Seventies - mainly because the BBC News came on right after 'Roobard and Custard' or 'The Magic Roundabout' - and I can't remember an era where both major parties are so bereft of leadership, direction or ideas. There's a certain irony that we'll all be getting a test text on Sunday to warn us of an impending 'National Emergency'. Seems quite prescient.
